description This paper adopted transient CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation analysis with an experimental method for designing and surveying the quick and uniform rise in the temperature of the plastics into the insert mold cavity. Plastic injection molding utilizing VCRHCS (Vapor Chamber for Rapid Heating and Cooling System) favorably decreased the defects of crystalline plastic goods’ welding lines, enhancing the tensile intensity and lowering the weakness of welding lines of a plastic matter. The vapor chamber (VC) possessed a rapid uniform temperature identity, which was embedded between the heating unit and the mold cavity. The results show that the tensile strength of the plastic specimen increased above 8%, and the depths of the welding line (V-gap) decreased by 24 times (from 12 μm to 0.5 μm). The VCRHCS plastic injection molding procedure can constructively diminish the development time for novel related products, as described in this paper.
